The wait has ended!

Apr 07, 2009

Hello again!

I am happy to say after completingjust 3 of the "supervised diet months, (cuz I had some stacked already) my doc was good enough to submit my paperwork in the middle of March. After doing so, the insurance sompany said they also needed clearance from a cardiologist. They set me up with the appointment and I walked the treadmill and had an ultrasound of my heart. I lasted on the treadmill for 6 minutes, but I was walking staright uphill!! The nurse says "o,k. in 12 seconds its gonna get faster, I was like dang!!! It did, my blood pressurre started off ok, but by the end of those 6 minutes it was 172/102!!! Holy crap!!
The doctor looked at the results in front of me, and he said there is nothing abnormal about your heart, your blood pressure went up, but that is to be expected. You are cleared by me if you want to have the surgery. YAYYY!! I am greatful!

So, after all this time, my surgery is schedulled for April14th 2009. I feel ok, yesterday (April 7th) was the first day of my liquids, I thoght I handled it very well. I am suppose to drink 5 shakes of this HMR 800, but I only got in 2 it seemed like it took all day to drink one!! I had jello, and ice pops, but didnt drink any broth or have any milk, I think I will do that today. I am feeling ok, because everytime I think about food, I just picture myself happy and skinny!!  then I just say the end resuly is going to be worth this. I hope and pray all goes well. I am so excited, I am sooooo nervous and I just cant wait to start losing!!!

My husband and I have gone thru alot lately. I love him very much, him and my children mean the world to me. He said he tok Tuesday and Wednesday off so he could be at the hospital with me. And that makes me feel better. I am glad even tho we have blatently stated that we hated each other, he is going to be there for me. I dont really hate him, Its just the way he makes me feel, all I want is to be happy, this is the first step to a new life for me, and I want the most important people to be with me thru this, and I know they are. I love all of my supportive friend and family very much.

I know I have a long way to go, but I also know that it is going to be a wonderful learning journey!!
Thanks for reading!! I will post soon again!!
